# XO Clean Air light blinking: the fan woke itself for ten minutes

Once Clean Air is enabled, the hood watches for four hours with no fan use and then runs the fan at low speed for ten minutes.

## What Clean Air indicator blinking actually means.

Once Clean Air is enabled, the hood watches for four hours with no fan use and then runs the fan at low speed for ten minutes. During that run the Clean Air light blinks and the low speed light is on; afterward the four-hour count starts again.

What to do when Clean Air indicator blinking shows on the range hood

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual, or simply waiting, ends it.

### Usually leads to No repair

If you want the regular airing, leave it on.

### Shows up as Reading a Range Hood Error Code or Blinking Light

A range hood error code may appear as letters and numbers on a display, a light that blinks in a pattern, a filter reminder that will not clear, or a beep with the fan refusing to start.

### Make XO

XO range hoods are repaired on a home call, and a cold draft through the hood or a sluggish fan are both good reasons to book.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from XO's own guidance for Clean Air indicator blinking on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

If you want the regular airing, leave it on.

02

To turn the function off, hold the power button for five seconds with the hood off, until the Clean Air light goes out.

03

If the fan runs longer than ten minutes at a time in this mode, book a visit to check the control.

### Cleared?

The code is gone and the blower pulls steam up on every speed again without a new part. If it returns this week, or the filter reminder keeps coming back right after a cleaning, mention it in the booking.

### What not to do

A blinking Clean Air light is not a filter or motor warning. Changing the fan speed during the run stops the blink but leaves the function enabled.

## What you may notice with it.

## Nothing to repair.

The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own.

XO builds this

### Wall-mount range hood

The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.

XO builds this

### Under-cabinet range hood

The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.

XO builds this

### Island range hood

The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.

## In XO's own words

> When the Clean Air Function automatically turns the fan on the Clean Air Indicator will blink and the Low Speed fan indicator will illuminate.
